Your set up is a bit of a mess.... 1) You don't need (and should have) Auth directives in the main config *and* in a .htaccess file. For simplicity, I'd recommend all directives in the main config and only use a .htaccess file if you really need to (if you don't know whether to use a .htaccess file... don't use it).
2) You need an AuthUserFile directive to tell apache where to find the file with the list of users and passwords (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_auth.html#authuserfile) 3) "Require user all" doesn't make sense unless you have a user called "all". If you just want to restrict access to user who have an entry in the AuthUserFile (see #2), then put "Require valid-user" (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#require).
